05/23/02 - hello you tabby cats. well we'd like to give a HUGE thank you to all the people that came out to tremont music hall last night and supported us. and an extra special thank you to the people who went insane in the pit. we managed to get through some technical difficulities at the beginning, that ended up taking 15 minutes off of our set time. but we have more shows to come, where hopefully we will be able to get everything working right. also we put up the lyrics to the songs on the demo, so check out the lyrics page for that. hopefully it will help everybody out who can't understand the words on the demo since the vocal quality resembles my dog's disgruntled penis. keep checking back here for more shows coming up and make sure if you see any members of the band and you want to be notified about shows this summer that you give one of us your email address. we'll be letting people know about summer shows, as well as posting them on this site.

05/08/02 - well hello. this terrible page is slowly but surely coming along... it will get better (or worse?) with time, so be patient. we're gonna start an e-mail list sometime also, so we can keep in touch with everybody over the summer about shows, releases, etc. but don't rely on the e-mail list... come to this page ALL the time for news, etc. well, this friday we're playing at halftime at the north meck powder puff football game. so come and watch the girls play football... and hopefully you'll check us out too. we'll be playing during halftime and i'm pretty sure we'll continue playing after the game. we'll play about 3 songs during halftime. on wednesday, may 22 we're playing 'new faces night' at tremont music hall with a band called 3/4 dead and another local band who hasn't been announced yet. we'll be handing out tix for that show soon... and the more people we bring in to see us, the better the chance we have of playing another show there, so make sure a SHITLOAD of people come to see us! also, tell everybody about this page, and give out the address... it's simple enough: surf.to/oldfashionedhamburgers. well, that's about all for now. keep checking back for other useless crap. i love you all. bye bye.

04/30/02 - wow. we actually have a webpage... if you can call this a webpage. anywho... we've started to record our album in gordon's very own studio... how rad is that? we started recording the drum tracks on sunday, so we'll be done in who knows how long... hopefully not too long. thanks to all of you who bought our 5 song demo entitled "demo"... you guys rule. the money we raised from selling the demo is going to our upcoming album, which we haven't really decided on a title for yet. and the album is going to have much better sound quality than the demo, so don't worry. oh yeah... another cool thing about our upcoming album... louis armstrong is going to be featured on it. it's really cool being able to have a very talented and professional musician on our album and eveything... but louis is kind of a dick. he keeps on saying that our band sucks and that he wants us all to go to hell and everything... kind of mean if you ask me, but what're you gonna do, ya know? well that's it for now. pretty good for the first day of the page, eh? hell yeah bitch. shut up. for the record... jake is the most talented person in the band.
